Hello Friends,

Friends of the Library are looking forward to welcoming Allison Clark home as our speaker for this year’s Annual Author’s Luncheon! Allison will join us at the Blue Ribbon Circle on October 10th at noon where she will share her endeavors as an author and coach. If you do not have your ticket yet, stop by the library to purchase one. Among many achievements of this former Golden Eagle, Coach Clark is entering her eleventh season at her alma mater, Tennessee Tech University where her team won OVC Championship this past season. Ms. Clark was inducted into the Tennessee Tech’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 and has been honored with the Flavious Smith Distinguished Outstanding Alumnus Award in 2019. We will enjoy hearing Allison Clark share how her experiences influenced her writing.

Get your car washed in October and support the library! When you get the code from the Friends of the Library to get your car washed, you will also support the library through a fundraiser.

Your sponsorship and support are vital to the Friends of the Library. Thank you for being a part of the Shelbyville Bedford County Library.
